Bill Maher Says That Police Culture Has To Change (Video)

Above: Bill Maher tells Stephen Colbert that we need policing as a society. He values the police and denounces shooting of police, like most, BUT he understands why police got shot at this point.

You can only look at so many videos of shooting unarmed Black people. I’m surprised it didn’t happen before.

Wow. Then Colbert follows up with a quote from the late President John F. Kennedy: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.” Then Maher goes in further: Police culture – attracting the wrong types of people, protecting wrongdoers within their ranks, not administering true justice when wrongdoers are caught, even the training – HAS to change!

Yeah. By this point in the evening, the funny part of the show was over, as Maher declared.

(Well, actually, they got in some more joke pokes… some at each other… but, trust, the serious power of what was said was not diminished.)

Incredible conversation The Late Show. Colbert keeps bringing thoughtful TV to CBS; while allowing what needs to be said to be said. Watch.

Cavalier – “Bywater Blue” (Produced By Iman Omari) [Video]

So often we want to capture the moment in life.  We can use a camera, a microphone, or a musical instrument to help detail moments and bring them to life.  Cavalier captures beautiful moments in his latest visual for “Bywater Blue”.  Over the Iman Omari produced track he delivers his rhymes that blend well with the choppy style of the beat.  This video is shot in New Orleans and they actually have footage from a New Orleans style funeral.  Credit to the family for giving permission to shoot and hats off to Cavalier Iman Omari & director Vashni Korin for doing the ceremony justice.

Andre Iguodala dropped in The Breakfast Club. He admitted being angry at the team (Golden State Warriors) for even letting the NBA Finals get to a game 7, but he was gracious in defeat.

Rant, Rebuttal, Reconciliation: Wendy Williams Apologizes And Invites Roland Martin To Speak On HBCUs & The NAACP (Video)

Two media power-movers get together and ensure the ooh’s and ah’s are not the last thing we get out of the swirl of fiery commentary that came from Wendy Williams’ rant – then Roland’s rebuttal – on HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. See all that build up after the jump. What’s most important though… is that they got together on Wendy’s couch, reached an accord, and ensured knowledge was shared! Good use of a powerful platform.

“News One Now” host Roland S. Martin sits down with Wendy to talk about her remarks about Historically Black Colleges and the NAACP. Then, Roland weighs in on race in America, police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement. Plus, Roland weighs in on how to talk to our kids about these issues.

Olivia Jensen and Tabria Majors and Dana Patterson, oh my! Talking about ‘Mobile Strike’ or something or other. But y’all know good and damned well this is noon – Honey time, not remote-controlled-tank-and-gaming time. So watch the promo for promo’s sake, if you wish. But if you don’t recognize this thicky-thickness of these models while doing their ‘business’… maaaaybe you’ve got the wrong idea about what Eye Candy is around these parts.

Activism: 23 Ways You Could Be Killed If You Are Black in America (Video)

Remember when Chris Rock did the comedic PSA “How To Not Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police” on his show years ago? No? We’re not surprised. With the passage of time AND all the police involved tragedy going on today, who can remember? And with all the unwarranted KILLING happening to us, it is really hard to laugh anymore. Crazy thing is… there seems to be NOTHING we can do to GUARANTEE living through a police encounter nowadays. Truth is, the time for folly is at an end. Hence the #WeAreHere Movement and the video above.

Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Pink, Bono, and others explain why it’s time to take action to heal the long history of systemic racism in America. #23Ways

In collaboration with Alicia Key and the We Are Here Movement, with original reporting from Mic’s Jamilah King. Go to WeAreHereMovement.com to find out more.

Loving (Trailer)

Wow. This looks like one of those incredible movies with heart that could get missed because there is not enough rockem-sockem or scandal in it. But we came across this trailer, and not letting you know about it would be a crime… like Black and White folks getting married back in the day. Yeah… not that long ago. Stay woke.

Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple, are sentenced to prison in Virginia in 1958 for getting married.
– New Trailer Buzz

Beautiful story. Plus Michael Shannon has been delivering the goods since HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. Comedian Nick Kroll should really get a chance to stretch his dramatic acting chops in this one. And Mildred Loving should be a breakout role for Ruth Negga (Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., AMC Original Series: Preacher).
